    It will be nice to have 13 on a Flyer to see how she compares with 6201 and 6233...
    When was an A4 last along the CLC through Northwich?

    There isn't a "Flyer" on the 22nd anyway!
    Are we to assume that you meant the "Scarborough Spa Express" on the 22nd ... or did you actually mean the "Scarborough Flyer" of Friday, the 25th?

    I understand that this Fridays Flyer has been cancelled, obviously the FBU action and the York area steam ban have a bearing on this, and RTC don't want to run the whole trip diesel hauled.

    Best thing to do if it would be a Diesel again, means customers are entitled to refund or rebook if they prefer.

    RTC are still advising that the 1 August Scarborough Flyer will run, but there is no path in RTT at present.

    In terms of the cancellation of the aforementioned, this might very well have resulted as a consequence of the fire risk, but other issues have since arisen which might be more connected to loco availability.
    A posting has just appeared on the 'Lensmen' linesiders' forum to advise that Nos 46233 and 60009 are now banned from working over the Standedge route ... due to "gauging issues" and that further investigation by the informant suggested that the track, at a bridge where this is on a cant through it, is deemed to move each year. Even 'though, as he goes on to infer, the measurement train appears not to have been along that line for some time, Notwork Rail have added a ‘safety margin’ ... which is obviously a complete guess!
    If it is merely a case of nudging track over to one side by a few inches, just how long would it take to manage this?
